[This RP is based on the book The Lightning Thief! Kudos to *insert author's name here*][Please ignore the poll on the top. This RP is now open to ONLY people who have been approved, and have read The Lightning Thief.]A long time ago, when humans worshipped ugly idols, there lived a group of people in Greece who would worship beautiful, radiant gods. The gods were modeled just like humans, and they acted very much like them [except they were immortal]. The gods had many children and wives/husbands. When a child was born with one mortal parent and one immortal, or god-parent, the child was half-mortal and half-god. These "half-bloods" were known as demigods. The demigods were left alone to be raised by their mortal parent until they came of age where they could cause harm to Olyumpus. Ferocious monsters would appear after twelve years of their birth, and they would either perish or make it safely [with the help of a satyr] to Camp Half-Blood, where they could train to defend themselves against the dangers of the mortal and immortal worlds.Note: Demigods are usually dyslexic, have ADHD, and get kicked out of many schools. However, they can read Ancient Greek really well, and their ADHD will keep them alive in battle, because they see too much, not too little. Επιζήστε~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The cabins are set up like this:Rarely anyone stays in Cabins 1 and 3, and no one ever stays in Cabins 2 and 8.

Zeus[Cabin One]- Is not allowed to have any more kids, but sometimes he might break the oath.Hera[Cabin Two]- Is the Goddess of marrige, so she doesn't have any children [NO EXCEPTIONS].Poseidon[Cabin Three]- Is also not allowed allowed to have any more kids, but he also might break the rules.Demter[Cabin Four]- Is the Goddess of the Harvest. She can make plants grow and her demigod children are often good at growing plants.Ares[Cabin FIve]- Is the God of War. His children are big, mean, and ugly. They are extremely strong. Think "Bully".Athena[Cabin Six]- Is the Goddess of Wisdom. Her demigods are very smart and athletic. Athena gets along with anybody- besides Poseidon and Ares.Apollo[Cabin Seven]- Is the God of Music, Light, and Reason. The children in his cabin are very good at archery.Artemis[Cabin Eight]- Vowed to be a maiden forever. She has no children and no husband [NO EXCEPTIONS].Hephaestus[Cabin Nine]- Has a way with forging swords, shields, you name it. His children aren't very pretty, but are great craftsmen.Aphrodite[Cabin Ten]- Is the Goddess of Beauty and Love. The demigods in her cabin are very beautiful, but aren't good for much.Hermes[Cabin Eleven]- Will take in anyone. There are average kids in his cabin, and he takes in anyone who's "undetermined".Dionysus[Cabin Twelve]- Is the God of Wine. He has few children, and has a gift for growing plants. Mainly strawberries, since he is banned from wine grapes.Hestia[Hearth]- Is the gentlest of all Olympians. No cabin... so her kids stay with the Hermes kids.

Note*: There is not a cabin for Hades, but he might have children. Like Zeus and Poseidon, he swore by the River Styx not to have a child. However, this oath can be broken, and the gods will not be happy. I will chose two others to play a daughter of Zeus and a daughter of Poseidon, but for now I will play the son of Hades. *Rubs hands together evily*

My Form[s]Name- Saia [S-EYE-AH]Gender- FemaleGod Parent- ApolloPersonality- Is very honest, and will think about things before she takes action. Looks- Saia has golden-blonde hair, and golden eyes which match her hair. She is very quick-footed and good at archery.Anything else?- Has been in camp so long, that she often shows new campers around.

Name- Falco [heh heh ;) ]Gender- MaleGod Parent- HadesPersonality- Despite his evil father [who is, by the way, Lord of the Underworld] he generally isn't so sour. Like many other campers he's just trying to figure things out. [Most of Hades' sons/daughters are really bad people, but a mysterious character put a blessing on him when he was born, therefore making him... uhh... nice.]Looks- He has shady, dark golden hair. As far as eyes go, he has deathly black pupils and dark, dark gray irises. Is typically good at staying quiet and hidden. Also good at the climbing wall.Anything else?- Is one of Saia's friends. He has been at Camp Half-Blood for half a year. Hades has no cabin, so Falco was welcome to stay with the Hermes cabin until things got sorted out.

Name- Topaz [Translates to "fire" somehow... someway...]Gender- FemaleGod Parent- HestiaPersonality- Is very kind and gentle. She knows how to make the right decision, and will stick by it. She's knows many things, but often hides them unless she trusts the person completely.Looks- She has long, flowing brown hair and large almond eyes, which are colored bright green. She is a little taller then her average height, and slender.Anything Else?- Has a gift for fire.

Wears jeans and a graphic tee.Anything else?- Good friends with Saira

[I KNEW IT!I knew you'd chose Demeter!Okay... well accepted. Lemme add you. Pretend it's your first day here or something, so I can show you around. And by the way, right now you're "undetermined" so you don't know which god you belong to.]

Name- ShokaGender- FemaleGod Parent [Any except Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, and Artemis]- Aphrodite ((that's right! xD))Personality [Based on god-parent. Short please.]- Gentle, not too obsessed with her looks, although she takes great care in her appearence. She loves all animals, and will gladly cuddle a kitten, puppy, or dragon.Looks [Based on god-parent. Short please.]- Shoka has shoulder-length red hair and icy blue eyes. She is a bit short for her age, fourteen, and it bugs her immensely.Anything else?- Greatly irked by the general assumption that Aphrodite's children are good for very little.

Name - Tara Rae LefevreGender- FemaleGod Parent - DionysusPersonality - Tara is stubborn and doesn't socialize much like her father. She gets along with him well because he is her father. She isn't that fond of being around people but understands how people's minds work because Dionysus is also the god of insanity [Goes with the wine, Drunk - go insane[It's in the Battle of the Lybrinyth]]. Tara can be nice and she is a very good fighter, mostly with bows and arrows. She also uses grape vines to choke her pursuers.Looks - Tara has pale skin with bright violet eyes, like grapes. Her hair is jet black and sweeps over her left eye, covering half her face. It comes to right above the small of her back. She has violet highlights that go through her hair and her bangs go from black to violet in the front. Tara is fairly tall with a full figure, she unlike her father, is fairly average, leaning towards the skinny side. Her weapon of choice is either her celestial bronze and violet bow that her father gave her, or a half celestial bronze sword and half normal sword, it's not pretty, but it can kill mortals and monsters. [Luke's Backbiter, except smaller and double handed.] Tara has been at the camp for two years, so her necklace has two beads on it, the first is a jet black bead with a bushel of grapes on it showing when she was claimed, the second bead is a gentle cream with strawberries, grapes, and a few other fruits on it, to show the last year she learned how to grow fruit without the statyrs help. [But they still do. :D If you let her go crazy, it's like Grover playing Poison Ivy on the Pan Pipes. xD]Anything else?- Nope, but I have read all the Percy Jackson books up to date. Oh, I'd like to request that they already know Tara, since she is the camp director's daughter.

[Yeah, that's fine Rebecca *cough cough* Runa. Accepted. Who do you want to RP with...? And are we just calling her Tara?][And btw- In the first book it says that "Mr. D" is like a cherub [whatever that is] and has really, really black hair. So black it's almost purple. But your description is fine.It's weird, because in my greek mythology book it says that "Mr. D" was a kind god. Uhhh... in the book?... not so much.]

[I will join!] :DName [Somewhat original...]- Trenton [New Jersey!]Gender- MaleGod Parent [Any except Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, and Artemis]- Hmm... I'll go with... Athena.Personality [Based on god-parent. Short please.]- Is very clever, and loves to read about greek mythology. Is usually very kind, but sometimes can have a mean side.Looks [Based on god-parent. Short please.]- Like Athena, he has honey-blonde hair and piercing gray eyes. Trenton is very athletic and good at coming up with solutions.Anything else?- Nope.

[Oh Yeah! I remember his description now... xD, Sorry. I will make a few changes... Oh, yeah, Just Tara, but if you want to call her Tara Rae you can. BTW: In the book Mr. D is only mad because he had to go teach at Camp Half blood because he got caught with the off-guard nymph. Really, I believe, he's nice, well, as nice as a minor wine god can be.][I don't really care who I RP with, I'll just start her off. (Remember, I'm tweaking her appearance a bit)]

Tara was up at the Big House playing Pinnocle [Sp?] with her father, Chiron, and an invisable player. She sighed and threw down her chips, "I'm out. Going down to the Archery Range, Dad, I'll talk to you later." She gave a small wave and leaped down the Big House steps, landing at the bottom. Tara waved her hand and a strawberry bush popped up beside her. Taking a strawberry to go, she went to the archery range to get some practice in.

[Alright, Runa. I just find it hillarious how Mr D. talks in the book. "Well Huzzah for that."][Hey... both of you [Runa and Pirate] could RP with Falco if you wanted. Saia is busy. Pirate- I need to know if your character is new or has been here for awhile.]

Falco raised his bow, aiming for the dead center of the target circle. He narrowed his eyes, looking at his past attempts. One had missed it entirely, two had been on the outside, and three were close to the center. In the next second he let the silver shaft fly. He grinned, "Perfect."

Tara saw Falco shooting and she gave him a curt nod, Tara really didn't have anything against Falco... well, yes, yes she did. She hated Children of the Big Three, personally, she thought they were skummy mistakes. Tara grabbed her bow and strung it up, getting into position before letting loose her arrow, It went right to the heart of the training dummy and she grinned, the Apollo kids really did know what they were talking about.

Falco sighed. Why did everyone resent him so much? It's not like he was a fan of his father himself. He was the Lord of the Dead, for crying out loud! Falco pushed his thoughts away and tried to focus on archery. He had nailed the climbing wall, and was almost an expert swordsman. However, archery just didn't come naturally to him.

Saia looked up at the sky thoughtfully. "Well... Your mother was a mortal, correct?" she asked. "Anyways, Camp Half-Blood is a safe place for demigods to go. According to Greek history, the children of one god and one mortal turned out to be heroes among humans. You see, we probably shouldn't be here. That's why monsters come after us; we might cause damage."

"The camp counselors would train you. You can learn to fight with swords, or learn how to shoot an arrow perfectly," Saia beamed slightly as she got to the topic of archery. "Sometimes we fight each other in the arena, and every Friday there is a game of Capture the Flag. But of course, it's not like regular run-around-and-get-tagged capture the flag..." she added, then trailed off.

Falco thought for a moment. He shook his head. "I don't think so. I should probably practice my archery. Maybe later though," he replied. Chiron had allowed him to see the Oracle, and he wasn't too happy about the prophecy [SP?]. He had to get better at other things besides climbing a stupid wall and sword-fighting.
